[QUOTE="ssslayer, post: 2088950, member: 4654"] Unless you believe in fairy tales spun by our scared religious texts, human being evolved over a period of time adapting to the process of walking and running on dry hard land ... barefoot. [URL]http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2007/04/humans-hot-sweaty-natural-born-runners/[/URL] When you walk/run barefoot it is very different from what happens when you wear shoes or footwear. 1. We tend to be very careful with placement of our feet. This means typically the ankle joint acts more agile. No more twisted ankles and sprains 2. We tend to land on toes instead of heels. This means no more bone jarring shock transmitting up the feet to knees and hips. 3. We tend to actually utilize the elasticity of the Achilles tendon and power of gluteus (buttocks) muscles instead of hamstrings and quadriceps, allowing us to travel farther with lesser effort. 4. We are more upright and the stride does not overextend = not striking at sharp angle to the ground = less shear on tibia = no shin splints. So first of all when you say your legs started to pain. What does it mean? Was it simply because of lack of training, which will improve over time ... or was it painful sensation leading to injury? [/QUOTE]
